I dance until I’m numb.
I sing until I’m free.
Music is my escape;
My way to be me.

She Writes
Your lips tell the simplest of lies
How much you love me
I’m beautiful in your eyes
How gullible can one be

I’ve forgiven before
I’ll forgive again
always coming back for more
Perhaps I live for the pain

Why can’t I just say no
Pack up my things
Finally let go
Stretch out my wings

My brain tells the simplest of lies
I need you, without you I’ll die

What is Love really?
Is it really affection?
Or an obsession?
The line is blurred

When you love someone
So madly
That you lose yourself
Is that love?

Constantly thinking, analyzing,
Obsessing
Every detail of a relationship
Is that out of affection?

The pain in your chest
Thinking about them with someone else
Is that jealousy because of affection?
I am not convinced

She Writes
I consider reaching out to you
Wondering if I should
I must step back and remind myself
If you wanted to speak you would

I’m no longer a priority
The realization is painful
With my heart
I should have been more careful

She Writes
She was no longer sad
Though she had every reason
She’s no longer angry
feelings used to change like the seasons

empty and numb
Is all she feels now
That’s probably worse
Deep down she knows

She perfected her facade
Pretend it’s all okay
Shut down and feel nothing
Easier than feeling everyday

She Writes
She can’t let go
Of the one that makes her sad
Because he used to be
The only one making her happy

Letting go of him
Seems impossible
It will be one of the hardest things
She could ever think to do

What’s truely harder though
Is holding on to him
When deep down she knows
He will never love her back

Goodbyes always hurt the most
When the book is closed
Before she had a chance
To read the final chapter

She Writes
I am a butterfly
I was once small and unappealing
I have grown to be
beautiful and awe inspiring

I am a lotus
I was once held back
by a muddy past
I have blossomed into a delicate flower

I am a Phoenix
I have lived to be burned
Only to rise from the ashes
Stronger, smarter, and more adept
